individual stories about Rwanda
Annemiek VAN GIJN All for Nature
In love with Rwanda… In September 2015 I was invited by the Embassy for the Kwita Izina event in Rwanda. A very special and glorious moment when all newborn gorilla baby’s of that year are named. Rwanda is taking nature conservation seriously and is renowned for the effective way in which they combine the protection of its mountain gorilla’s and ecotourism. During the Kwita Izina ceremony President Paul KAGAME was present together with 10,000’s of local people and the international press.
The mountain gorilla is doing well in Rwanda and its population grew from 250 in 1981 to 480 individuals in recent years. Besides the mountain gorilla, Rwanda has much more wildlife to offer such as chimpanzees and beautiful birding in Nyungwe Forest and lions and elephants in Akagera National Park. Wildlife combined with sustainability and nature conservation are all ingredients essential for a fabulous ‘All for Nature Travel’ destination. Here your travel money is invested wisely. For inspiration have a look at Kingdom of the Gorilla and Rwanda Ultimate Wildlife Safari on our website. Annemiek VAN GIJN Founder of All for Nature Travel www.allfornature.nl
